Self-Tape and Auditions (Online)

Looking to start getting paid acting work but not sure where to start? Perhaps you want to improve your self-tape or audition technique?

This short online course is perfect to help you become professional in your approach and start securing second round auditions and parts!

Self-tapes are now the industry standard for first-round auditions, and knowing how to approach them with professionalism and confidence can give you a major edge.

This online course in Self-Tape and Audition Technique is designed to help actors stand out in auditions, build resilience, and make a lasting impression.

Whether you’re brand new to self-tapes or want to sharpen your existing approach, this course gives you practical tools and insider insight to help you stand out.

You’ll be guided by professional director and acting coach Jake Norton, who has worked extensively in film, TV, and theatre. With a mix of engaging videos, actionable tips, and a final self-tape submission for personalised feedback, this course is ideal for actors who want to work smarter and feel more confident in their audition game.

Here’s What You'll Learn…

✅ Getting Started: You’ll receive a warm welcome to the course by Clare Cairns as she shares her top tips for getting the most out of your learning.

✅ Self-Tape Techniques: Get started with everything you need to know about self-tapes, including lighting, sound, framing, performance, and preparation. Jake shares what casting directors really look for and how to make your self-tapes feel both professional and authentic, using the tools you already have at home.

✅ The Art of Auditioning: Auditions can be intimidating but they don’t have to be. Jake opens up about his own journey (and mistakes!) as he walks you through the real-life skills you need for auditions. From handling nerves to staying grounded in rejection, this module is about developing both technique and resilience.

✅ Responding to the Casting Brief: This module will show you how to read and respond to casting briefs with clarity and creativity. You’ll learn how to interpret the brief, make bold but appropriate choices, and stand out without second-guessing yourself. Because even if you’re not right for this role, you might be perfect for the next one.

✅ Navigating the Industry: Let’s talk business. In this module, Jake gives you a real-world overview of how to build a career, not just book a job. Explore your personal brand, how to approach agents, and the mindset shift that can help you build a sustainable, confident presence in the acting world.

✅ Submit Your Self-Tape for Feedback: You’ve learned the skills, now it’s time to put them into practice. For your final task, you’ll submit a self-tape audition to one of our acting coaches or industry professionals. You’ll receive personalised feedback to help you understand your strengths, your next steps, and how to keep developing your audition craft.
